You can use a cable with a maximum length of 15 m (50 ft) at lower
monitor resolutions, provided it is a high-quality video cable. Video
amplifiers are available for longer distances.
You can connect the monitor to a video generator that does not
conform to VGA standards if the generator provides analog RGB video
signals (0.714V above reference black into 75 W) and separate
horizontal and vertical sync signals. Depending on the signal, the
monitor may or may not function properly.
For a DVI cable longer than 5 m (16.4 ft), use a DVI cable extension.
However, DVI cables longer than 5 m (16.4 ft) exceed the DVI
maximum cable length specification.
